Josh Gad Biography

After a brief-role in the Christian-themed direct-to-video feature [[Feature~V275105~Mary and Joe~maryandjoe]] (2002) -- a kind of contemporary update about the immaculate conception set in modern-day New York City -- actor Josh Gad distinguished himself with a colorful supporting role on the [[Performer~P28139~Kelsey Grammer~kelseygrammer]]/[[Performer~P31449~Patricia Heaton~patriciaheaton]]-headlined sitcom [[Feature~V407297~Back to You~backtoyou[tvseries]]] (2007). The Fox series told of the hilarious and often biting rivalry between two newscasters, professionally reunited after more than a decade apart. Gad played 26-year-old Ryan Church, the diminutive, overweight, and wet-behind-the-ears news director with a mile-long geek streak. He was in the gambling drama 21, and the Rainn Wilson comedy The Rocker. He had a major supporting turn in Love and Other Drugs, and lent his voice to the 2012 animated film Ice Age: Continental Drift. Gad has also enjoyed great success acting on the Broadway stage in both The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and The Book Of Mormon. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
